  • "Joyful stay."

    Very comfortable cabin with pretty much everything you need (apart from an oven). Most important is the short walk to the very quiet beach.

    I’m glad you had a good stay. I just removed the oven! and replaced it with a microwave as that seemed to be what folk wanted ? There is not room for both! I’m so sorry Property Owner

  • "We loved the Cabin."

    It is beautifully designed, cosy and comfortable. And the location is fantastic, the walk to Reculver really special. Every touch in the cabin is so clearly thought through and nicely designed, we loved it.

    Thank you for your feedback, I’m so pleased you enjoyed it. Property Owner

  • "We were a bit disappointed in some of the facilities."

    There really should be a lock on the side door, there was nothing to stop anyone entering.. There should be a sink in the bathroom, it was bad that we had to use the kitchen sink, particularly difficult for my husband to shave without a mirror There really didn't need to be a bit feather duvet on the bed in the summer. No windows opened and it was very hot. No microwave or TV... admittedly it was stated but it should have been made more obvious. The step down to the garden was ridiculously high, I had to lift my dog in and out. My husband is disabled and it was difficult for him.

    I’m sorry you thought the description misleading. The window in the bedroom opens fully. There is no other access to the secluded back garden apart from the cabin so it is entirely safe. The bathroom as shown in photographs is small but perfectly formed. There is now a shaving mirror in the bathroom. So thank you for that suggestion. There are sheets and blankets on the shelves above the bed if the feather duvet is too hot, but I must say most people find the bed very comfortable. As you say it is clearly stated in the property details that there is no TV or microwave. I’m sorry your husband and dog struggled with the step, I will point it out to other guests, but no one else has mentioned it. Thank you for your feedback. I have now swapped the oven for a microwave. Property Owner

  • "We really enjoyed our stay at the Artist's Cabin by the Sea."

    Having never been to Kent before it was a great base to explore from. Enjoyable walking both ways east and west, the views are sublime. Herne Bay and Whitstable to the west and Margate to the east, we also visited Broadstairs, Ramsgate, Sandwich Bay, Deal, Canterbury, Grove Ferry, and Faversham. Seafood in abundance! Sea swims of course, and crepes at Reculver Towers. For the two of us (& Smudge the dog) the cabin was a delight to stay at: quiet, snug, and homely. We had terrific weather so found ourselves on the cliffs, on the shoreline, or in the garden most evenings. Some amazing sunsets! A delightful week.

    I’m so glad you had a good holiday, the weather was perfect! thank you for leaving the cabin so clean and tidy Property Owner

  • "Wonderful cabin, just as described, perfectly positioned opposite a shingle beach and coastal paths."

    All amenities at hand, with a side and front garden, so you could always find sun or shade. Ideal base to explore northern Kent. Highlights were Whitstable and Canterbury, and the local fish and chip shop!

    I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay. I think it is clear in the property details what facilities are offered at the cabin. So I hope you were not disappointed. Property Owner

  • "Comfortable stay in a lovely location, perfect for long dog walks, particularly liked the country park and the dog friendly cafe at Reculver."

    The property was compact, with all basic equipment and facilities needed. The enclosed garden could do with a tidy up and some of the decor bangs on the side of the building when windy. As a solo female visitor I would have liked a bolt on the side door and a blind on the bathroom window, however I had a very enjoyable holiday

    Thank you for your feedback, I will fit a bolt immediately and secure any loose items on the outside walls. The garden was due a tidy and is now looking more manicured. It is so useful to get constructive feedback, Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

    Right by the sea, at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. Lots of amenities nearby, wonderful walking trails and within easy reach of the Kent road network.

    It was a pleasure to host you thanks for being such easy guests x Property Owner

  • "We enjoyed a relaxing few days at the Artists Cabin which we found warm, clean and comfortable."

    Given that we were well aware of the space limitations when we booked, the sacrifices we had to make were much as expected and perfectly acceptable for a short break. The main attraction for us was the location which allowed almost immediate access to the beach and provided a decent 45 minute walk to Herne Bay with our dog along a continuous promenade.

    Location location location! Sea views from a cosy cabin. Please let me know what facilities I could provide to improve your stay. Many thanks for your feedback. Property Owner

  • "I spent a few days last week staying in Rachel's cute little Artist's Cabin."

    It is well eqipped, with warm radiators, as well as a log stove - and very comfortable - and filled with her fascinating art work. The beach access was only about 100 yds away, down a wide paved path - Herne Bay itself a very pleasant walk along the paved coast path - about a mile and a half. I hope I can return again in the summer, and spend more time on the beach.

    It’s getting warm Janet, hope to see you again and really pleased you had a good break. Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely stay here with our dog."

    The location is perfect for exploring the beach and for days out to places such as Whitstable. Herne Bay is about a 1.5 mile walk along the seafront, which was a beautiful walk. It was well stocked and incredibly cosy - we loved the wood burner! Rachael is a great host and very responsive. Overall a great stay!

    Thanks for your feedback hope to see you again. Property Owner

HERNE BAY

Whitstable 5 miles; Canterbury 7 miles; Broadstairs 13 miles; Dover 23 miles.

Herne Bay has been a popular holiday destination for many years. With its award-winning shingle beach and restored Victorian memorial gardens, this offers families the perfect, relaxing holiday location. Herne Bay's seafront is home to the world's first freestanding purpose-built Clock Tower, built in 1837 which looks down onto the well-kept promenade. As expected when visiting an English seaside town, there are many eateries serving everything from traditional fish and chips to exotic delicacies, and of course, no seaside town is complete without an ice cream parlour and Herne Bay has two! The historic city of Canterbury is only 7 miles away, with its famous cathedral and historic past, offering theatres, museums and art galleries as well as shops, restaurants, and trips along the river. For a day of cobbled streets and browsing around quaint little shops, then make for Whitstable, famous for its Oyster festival and a popular harbour town at any time of year. Herne Bay is ideally situated for exploring this part of the Kent coast.
